Now, you know I have no problem at all. But I've always found attacking someone's opinion based on the fact that they have 'Axl' in their username to be one of the most annoying things that's ever happened on other forums. "Of course you don't like {Insert thing Slash has done here}, you have Axl in your name!", made me want to punch the screen because of the supreme idiocy of that logic.

Slash Crucify The Dead Letras:
The fire started long ago
The flames burned out, still embers glow
So charred and black
There's nothing left to burn, to burn

We had the same dream
Lived life to extreme
A loaded gun jammed by a rose

The thorns are knots around your head
Your ego cursed you till you bled
You cannot crucify the dead
To me you're dead, yeah

The future is unset in stone
Decisions past leave you alone
Betrayed us all with your own selfish greed, your greed, yeah

[M?s Letras en http://es.mp3lyrics.org/4OLC]
New soldiers now say
That your beggars collect
Re-crucified and paid by you

The thorns are knots around your head
Your ego cursed you till you bled
You cannot crucify the dead
To me you're dead, yeah

We were like brothers with the world in our hands
You always have too much to say
Someday you look back and you wonder why
You let it all slip away, yeah

[SOLO]

Crucify the dead
Crucify the dead

The thorns are knots around your head
Your ego cursed you till you bled
You cannot crucify the dead
To me you're dead, yeah



WTF?!!

[Limulus]

those are Ozzy's lyrics....but yeah, can be interpretated like many have thought before 

[kukol1978]

So if ozzy wrote the lyrics its about Black sabbath.And if you think both bands have lived paralel lives...

[requiem156]

Ozzy: Classic Rock magazine, April 2010. Bigass feature on Slash's solo record, and the following quote from OZZY:
I helped write the lyrics and melody for the song with my producer. It's kind of about what I think happened to Guns N' Roses. I often say to Slash 'Y'know what? One day you guys are going to wake up and go "What the fuck did we have and why did we blow it?". The song's what I'd be singing to Axl if I was Slash, y'know, 'They can't crucify you when you're dead'

[CheapJon]

So if ozzy wrote the lyrics its about Black sabbath.And if you think both bands have lived paralel lives...

those lyrics are not entirely correct

"a loaded guns jammed by a rose"

ozzy have said it's his view on GN'R

there are things in sabbath's and GNR's history that are similar, but also many big differencies.. nobody sees ronnie james dio, vinny appice and geezer butler to be recruits as being recruits payed by tony iommi..

why you are talking about the song in this thread, i don't know

[kukol1978]

Sorry! i read Slash album and entered! .I just realized is only reviews!.Poor Ozzy! maybe he has speak about something he shouldnt!

Fair enough, dick move on my part.  I get the same for my avatar if i post anything slightly negative bout GNR so i know how it feels.
I apologize

I was listening to SLASH yesterday.  I am not a guitar player, just a guy who like to hear music so dont danm me!

The album didnt displeased me but it wasnt a love-at-first-listen experience neither. Its a good average album, lacks some ambition in my personal taste...

I would say that lyrics are the weakest aspect of the album. I think it would be interesting that one day Slash make an instrumental album.

While listening I got this thought that the songs didnt reach a proper climax, Im talking about that climax that gives way to a guitar solo to be outstanding, to be special and fill it with meaning and emotion...  Maybe as I said before this is in someway because of the lyrics.

I will listen the album a couple of times more to see how it grows or not in me.

Dont know if I made myself clear, sorry, couldnt find better words.

[oldgunsfan]

i thouhght these were interesting quotes from slash talking about the curse of his success:


"It's really a catch 22," Slash says of his Guns N' Roses legacy. "We made a really influential - at this point iconic - first album that's in everybody's record collection and that's the coolest thing in the world. But I quit the band 15 years ago, and there's not been any efforts to get back together because it wasn't a pleasant split ... I was really bitter about being forced to quit my own band."

Despite this, Slash remains diplomatic about his ex-colleague.

"He's a f--king amazing singer. In making [my solo album] there were a couple of times where I'd think, ?Axl would sing the s--t out of this.' "

U know what my favorite song is right now?

Saint is a sinner too

i rated it very low on my initial review

but have been listening today and WOW it gave me chills

it is so haunting

I think due to it being so different, first listen i didn't give it a chance

but WOW, when it hits, it hits

I also really love the Adam Levine song right now. that song has some great lyrics and feeling



Would love to hear Axl on Ghost though

that could've been one of the best GNR songs of all time with a little tweaking.
